Album Review: Regiment - Live at the Whiskey A Go Go

Regiment

Live at the Whiskey A Go Go

***and1/2 out of *****

Even before the music spins out from Regiment's new release, Live at the Whiskey A Go Go, you know what you are in for just by looking at the retro metal art. If anything, the playing contained within goes even heavier as the thrash metal burns with the power of an exploding sun over Los Angeles.

Dylan Cover #720 Sheryl Crow & Bonnie Raitt - "Everything Is Broken" Live

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by Sheryl Crow & Bonnie Raitt playing "Everything is Broken"

Thoughts on Original:

From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:

If Bob wasn't the Bard "Everything Is Broken" would just be another tossed off song. However, is anything with Dylan just simply tossed off? Well..yeah...this song certainly feels tossed off to me...sorry. Oh Mercy is a hell of an album, one of Dylan's classics, and this song is fine, it just can't even stand close to any of his all-time gems, not remotely close. One of the reasons I started this cover series was to show how amazing The Bard's songs are in just about anyone's hands, but if the original of this tune was written by Joe Schmo would people think it was great, or is it just the Dylan name that gives it clout?  

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:

RtBE enjoy both artists and have seen both (I think) at Jazzfest over the years.

Thoughts on Cover:

The duo miss a few lyrics but it doesn't matter as they rock out hard with the band. Crow's harmonica is pretty spot on as well as the blues get motoring this Monday morning with a live wire rendition of this tune.

The James Hunter Six 

Off The Fence

**** out of *****

The James Hunter Six have consistently crafted solid retro soul albums for the last decade plus. On the excellent Whatever It Takes and Nick of Time, they did so for the Daptone label.

Dylan Cover #717 George Possley "Workingman's Blues #2"

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by George Possley playing "Workingman's Blues #2"

Thoughts on Original:

From the first time we tackled a cover of this song:
One of Dylan's late career highlights, "Workingman's Blues #2" first appeared on Modern Times and was a stunning reminder of how Dylan can just completely nail it sometimes. The ease with which the piano and song flows out reminds of Dylan's best work, as if the song has always been there and he is just breathing it into existence at this time and place. It owes a debt to Merle Haggard, the Civil War, poet Henry Timrod and thousands of others, but is perfectly Dylan when it comes to the lyrics which bounce all over. A folk song, mistitled a blues song, for the workingman that feels aloof, pure Dylan
